At 2:30am this morning friends telephoned and told us in tears that they had been informed from Iran that the prison guards have just transferred Ayatollah Hossein Kazamani Boroujerdi to prepare his execution.

Human rights advocates for Iran take these reports seriously and I ask all human rights organizations, concerned individuals, and governments from international community to react and intervene.

Please contact your government representatives and pressure the executioner regime of Iran, to stop them before they hang Mr. Boroujerdi. We are also asking the regime of Iran to immediately release this innocent freedom-loving Iranian cleric; his only crime is advocating for separation of Religion from the State in Iran.

The EU should offer to rescind the law against Holocaust Denial in return for Iran rescinding the law against opposition to theocracy. (I realize there's a big difference between the penalties.)

No other nation in the world is more RADICAL, or more intent on depriving its citizens of freedom than that of IRAN.

The entire WORLD should condemn and ISOLATE this cruel regime that is intent on MURDER of not only it's neighbors, but that of it's CITIZENS as well.

The eminent execution of Ayatollah Hossein-Kazamani Boroujerdi - after being tortured and held in a prison cell for years - is an example of the madness that has gripped the POWER-HUNGRY mullahs who run this repressive government of insane Muslims, backed by a militia and a military of like madmen.

ONLY the people of IRAN can STOP this insanity. ONLY the people of IRAN can end the years of physical abuse by these crazy religious fanatics. AN UPRISING must begin, or the ISLAMIC MULLAHS and their followers will lead this once proud nation into UTTER RUIN!

Does anyone in the Western media care enough to report on this?
The Iranian economy has been teetering on the brink for many years.

With the advance of IS on the Shia government in Baghdad inevitably putting even greater pressure on the Iranian Rial, now would be the perfect time for the West to apply one final round of BIG sanctions to send the country over that brink and into the revolution it so obviously needs.

Criticizing Political Islam is a no, no in Iran because it takes away the power of the evil people at the top, calling themselves mullahs. Shame on the USA to be going easy on Iran instead of bombing its nuclear sites to smithereens. Because with having nuclear power the dissent against this evil, political Islamist regime, it will be impossible to dissent. Shame on Iran for planning to kill people who dissent against political Islam which is evil and which the civilized world must eradicate for once and for all or this planet is doomed and civilization which we worked to hard to achieve will become null and void.

Too bad they are so thin skinned that they can't take some criticism. It must be nice to know all the answers.
